"You can't be 'somewhat' head over heels for somebody! That's like saying you're 'a little' pregnant or something."

Head over heels may be the natural state of being - but the more robust Anglo-Saxon version, "arse over tit", is neither gentlemanly nor ladylike...

Hmm. Now that I think about it, "head over heels" as a metaphor for an unusual state of being seems kinda bizarre. I mean, *I'm* head over heels right now, and I'm just sitting here. What's so weird about being head over heels that someone would coin that phrase?

Okay, I think she's basically right about being "somewhat head over heels," but comparing it to pregancy is still a false analogy. (This is me being "just a bit pedantic.")

Yah, I'm just sorta dead... a little bit female... just slightly pregnant... yah... This one just makes me shake my head and wonder about the human race.
